High intensity Focused Ultrasound (also known as HIFU) is an innovative, non-surgical treatment providing outstanding results for face and body lifting, skin tightening, skin texture improvements and focused fat reduction. HIFU boasts an impressive list of benefits including pore reduction, wrinkle reduction, increased skin firmness and tightness, and the improved appearance of stretch marks. It can drastically improve jawline definition, reduce double chins, target small deposits of unwanted fat, and treat skin sagging in several areas of the face, neck and body. The technology is simple yet effective: targeted ultrasound waves release thermal energy at various skin and fat depths in order to achieve specific results. The lack of skin disturbance reduces downtime and makes this a pleasant, non invasive procedure. |

| How Hifu Works |
|
| Prior to treatment, patients should stimulate collagen production by maintaining an active skincare routine. Applying daily sun protection, adopting a healthy exercise routine and quitting smoking are all methods that can encourage greater results. Throughout the treatment, the patient will feel certain amounts of thermal energy penetrating specific areas and depths of the skin. Comfort will vary depending on the individual, and the hot sensation only lasts the duration of the energy being delivered. If you are concerned about experiencing pain, please advise your Auspoint Medical practitioner and patient-specific recommendations can be made. No special post treatment is required, however a slight tingling, swelling, and tenderness may be temporarily experienced in the following days. |
